Older chick with head turned sideways/wry neck?

[Chick_Maelle]

I have a 1.5 month old chick who has her head turned sideways and screeching. She was fine yesterday. I’m wondering what to do!

It does sound like wry neck, which can produce an array of symptoms, even walking backward dragging the beak on the ground.

The treatment is safe and easy. Fix some hard boiled eggs and chop them up. Mix one capsule of vitamin E 400iu oil into each tablespoon of egg and give that to the chick each day until after it returns to normal.

If the chick refuses to eat when given the egg alone, then give a tablespoon of egg with the E oil for each of its pals at the same time. It won't hurt them.
